1. Rain boots are possibly the best invention ever. It has been raining for four days straight in “sunny” southern California and had I not been wearing my adorable rain boots with bubbles and fishies on them, I would have been miserable.
2. I have used more sugar, butter and flour in the last nine days then I have in the entire seventeen months I have lived in this apartment.
3. My very eligible and very single friend Patrick gave me this recipe. He cooks, he bakes and oh ya, he’s single. He likes long walks on the beach and wants me to give you his number.

I know you think I’m kidding. But I’m not.

When Patrick asked me to make these for the Twelve Days, I was a little skeptical. For some reason anything with “magic” in the name gives me a sneaking suspicion that they aren’t quite what they seem.

But, Magic Cookie Bar’s are as straightforward as a Cookie Bar comes. They smell like fresh chocolate chip cookies and taste like heaven.
